Biography:
A Warrenpoint pharmacist, Vincent Gilmore captained his hometown club to some successes in the late-1940s before stepping-up to Irish League football with Portadown during the 1949/50 season. It was after moving to Cliftonville that Gilmore earned Amateur international recognition as left-half in the Ireland side defeated 4-1 at Solitude in September 1955. A versatile player, his Irish League career usually found him in the half-back line, but from his earliest playing days Gilmore had also regularly featured at inside-forward.

It was a move to Dundalk in 1956 that brought Gilmore his greatest success. At Oriel Park he played his first season as the regular choice at left-half. His second campaign saw him switch between the number six and ten shirts before being deployed at centre-forward for the closing months of the season. He scored the only goal in the FAI Cup semi-final win over Shelbourne and played a key role in setting up the winner in a shock Final win over Shamrock Rovers.

Gilmore returned to the Irish League in 1958. He continued to pull on his boots well into the veteran stage, playing regularly for 5-a-side team, Newry Ramblers through to the mid-1960s.

Biography:
From Richill, Craigavon, Scott Gibb represented Co. Armagh at the 2004 Milk Cup shortly before signing for Falkirk after a successful trial. Only just sixteen at the time, he initially remained at home to finish his schooling, travelling over to Scotland as required. A commanding defender, he captained Northern Ireland Under-19s and played in the Elite Section of the 2007 Milk Cup. He was sent out on loan to Falkirk's near-neighbours and perennial Division Three strugglers, East Stirlingshire for the 2007/08 season and spent much of the following campaign on loan in Division Two with Stirling Albion.

Gibb's time with Stirling Albion saw him claim his first Under-21 cap as well as B international honours. His Under-21 debut was soured as he was harshly adjudged to have given away a penalty from which Ukraine took the lead, though thankfully Northern Ireland equalised through Chris Casement. In a 'B' International against Scotland he played the entire second-half at right-back during which time the Scots scored all their goals in a 3-0 win.

At the close of the 2008/09 season Gibb was released by Falkirk having not played a senior game for them. He quickly thereafter joined Drogheda United where he was a regular in defence as the team fought against relegation. The highlight of his time with the Drogs was perhaps a late left-foot volleyed equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Sligo Rovers. While at United Park Gibb claimed his second Under-21 cap, coming on for Martin Donnelly (himself a substitute), with ten minutes remaining of a 2-1 defeat by Portugal.

In January 2010 Gibb returned to Scotland, signing with Second Division Stenhousemuir. With Stenny he was often been deployed in midfield. He was released at the close of the 2010/11 season and joined Bo'ness in the Scottish Junior East Region Super League, though his appearances were limited by work commitments.

Biography:
A promising midfielder with Stoke, a spell with Wrexham ended with relegation from the Football League in 2008. He then joined Linfield, where his great uncle Billy Ferguson was formerly a player, and his performances earned him a call-up for Northern Ireland at the end of the 2008/09 season. He was called-up for a second time the following summer having aided Linfield to "the Double", earning the Man of the Match award in the 2-1 Irish Cup final win over Portadown.

In April 2013 Garrett joined up with ex-Linfield teammates Daryl Fordyce and Albert Watson at Edmonton on a season long loan deal.
